Here is my process.
1) Dish soap to clean the the bike.
2) Ice Synthetic Spray Wax.
3) Ice Synthetic Spray Wax for a second time.
4) Rinse with cold water.
5) Ice Spray Detailer.

What is your favorite wax and how do you put it on?

How's that stuff work on swirl makes and light scratches typical on vivid black?

Rain-X car wash soap and Mothers Carnuba paste wax. I have to admit to using dish soap in a pinch but ALWAYS wax afterwards.

I tried a lot of them and I always go back to Pledge. Cheap, easy to apply and it works great.
